Our team is studying bacteriophages that are viruses infecting bacteria. Since 2006, Laurent Debarbieux has reignited a research lab about phage therapy following the pionnering work of Félix d'Herelle started in early 20th century.

@phagepasteur.bsky.socialGreat lab celebration of “phi80 day” last Friday with Danish beers at Mikkeller Bar in Zürich – the 10th anniversary of a fateful experiment I had done as PostDoc in Copenhagen. It’s not Halloween yet, but read on for the very dark story that got me hooked on phages 🧬💀 1/16
Show PostMeet the giant Sissivirus (and its #virophage)! With 4 Mbp genome, Sissivirus is the champion of all known viruses (by genome size). Check the preprint to learn how it got so big. The study led by Julien Andreani, Frederik Schulz @fmschu.bsky.social & Bernard La Scola www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Show PostHappy World Phage Day to all who celebrate... ... delighted to share new work led by Jacopo Marchi, Chadiga Khalek & joint w/Remy Chait on stable coexistence of phage with migrating bacteria driven by the forces of infection, lysis, and chemotaxis. A 🧵 at the interface between known & unknown.
Show PostGreat photo from @phagepasteur.bsky.social is exactly what we want to see from the global Phage Community during the 8th #WorldPhageDay, launching the #WorldPhageWeek -celebrating ALL phage pioneers. Promote your team members, share research, special phages, news and more chocolate sharing posts!
Show PostMeet the Pittsburgh Phage Program (P3)! Our new video takes you behind the scenes—from patient isolates and phage research in the lab to the physicians and patients at the center of clinical care! #PhageTherapy #Bacteriophage #P3 #pittsburghphageprogram
